Yeh fitting 3 or 4 of the most popular games, and it’s done, reminds me of the vita, no thought to user experience, well that’s ms for you,
While you're sort of right, if you choose the three or four games with the biggest install sizes available on the market, you can eat up the storage space quite easily, that's true.
...but the vast majority of games
aren't over 100gb in size so it's a
slightly disingenuous argument to be making. I don't think it's a good use of my time to start googling install sizes to create a list of the smallest AAA games available on Series S to try and score internet points with you but I think everyone knows that you'd have to be quite selective to eat up the 364gb of storage in 3 games. It's doable, no argument. But games of that sort of size will eat up any console's storage quite quickly. You can probably eat up a PS5's storage with Black Ops Cold War and a few other carefully selected big games and yet we don't see much complaining about the PS5 standard storage only having room for 5 games.
The Series S storage size is obviously all about cost. You may as well complain that consoles don't come with a second controller anymore. It's not like Microsoft are tricking people or lying, it says on the box how much storage you're getting. You can use cold storage if you like.
There's got to be trade offs to put out a system that costs half what Series X / PS5 does, and storage is more expensive than it used to be.
Great point about Microsoft not putting any effort into user experience. Perfectly illustrated with an example of a product made by someone else. "Man, this whopper isn't really doing it for me today" "that's KFC for you!
